Samsung is using VivaTech 2026to show how connected devices, artificial intelligence, and carefully chosen partnerships can work together to create a broader way of thinking about health and daily wellness. Under the theme “Open Invitation to a Healthier Tomorrow,” the company is advancing the Samsung connected care vision, repeatedly returning to openness, cooperation, and ecosystem integration almost as its main language. As Samsung healthcare continues to grow into one of the most meaningful uses of consumer technology, Samsung believes that wellness experiences that truly matter can’t be handled by a single device alone. Samsung Is Pushing Hard Toward an Open Health EcosystemThe idea behind Samsung Connected Care has shifted a lot over the last few years. At first, fitness trackers and smartwatches basically focused on simple goals, counting steps and monitoring heart rate, but now newer health platforms want to show a broader sense of how someone is doing day to day.

As Stephanie Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of the Global Brand Center atSamsung Electronics, explained, Samsung is trying to deliver health solutions through both its own ecosystem and open partnerships. Samsung Connected Care Strategy with Samsung Health at the CenterIn Samsung’s connected care strategy, Samsung Health sits at the center; it’s the company’s integrated health and wellness platform. Samsung Health gathers data and services across five major areas of wellness, likeSleepActivityNutritionMental healthVital signsWhen you merge information from different sources, Samsung expects users to gain a fuller understanding of their bodies, rather than getting stuck on isolated numbers.

And beyond that, the platform serves as a base layer for many of Samsung’s AI-powered health efforts, so connected devices can coordinate more smoothly, even when they come from different places. Collaboration Through the Open Care LabSamsung’s push for openness is evident again in the Open Care Lab, one of the three main parts of its VivaTech exhibit. In there, the mood is very much about working with startups, healthcare innovators, and tech partners. Samsung basically frames these ties as something you need if you want innovation to move faster and broaden what its connected care ecosystem can actually do. The company has also said, more than once, that tackling complex health problems requires cooperation across sectors, not just internal work or development behind closed doors. And this idea aligns with VivaTech’s broader theme, the one that leans heavily on collaboration between well-known companies and emerging innovators.

Instead of zeroing in solely on standalone devices, Samsung is building a broader ecosystem. That ecosystem integrates AI, connected hardware, health platforms, and external partnerships, making proactive wellness management easier to support. With Samsung Health and all those Galaxy devices, plus the healthcare integrations and that open ecosystem approach, Samsung feels like they’re pointing toward a future where tech helps folks get a clearer grip on their health, manage it more smoothly, and make it better day-to-day. And since connected care keeps shifting, Samsung figures that openness + collaboration will be the big thing if these tailored wellness experiences are going to actually work at scale.
